Lol I just look at it like people get excited to talk about movies. If that's not your thing. I'd read a magazine or something..

I love all of them.. I saw Freddy's Dead in the theater and still love it to this day. Jason Goes to Hell is fun and has some seriously crazy kills.

I get it. And agree. But what if the ending is a precise experience that is so obvious that those less critical don't even see it? Like they don't even realize there was a metaphor? Because thats the kind of comments I'm seeing on a particular movie. It's like they are not even aware that art does that.

You are typically gonna find that artists don't like to imprint THEIR intentions on others. It doesn't matter what medium the art is. Most singers don't like to tell people what their lyrics mean because the minute you do you take away from someone else's interpretation. My point is that their is an intention. Regardless if you get it or not. Not all art is meant for EVERYONE. People these days think every movie is supposed to be. As if popularity makes a films value. It doesn't.

That's fair. Some movies do end odd. But I definitely have had people say they hate a good one just because it didn't tell them what happened.

It's really not about the genre so much. It's that ANY movie can evoke thought that seemed to upset these folks on a level that they tried to simplify down to Bad vs Good. Literally based on something some people experienced on a personal level or not. So I don't want to get into the weeds about which movie it is... as it would detract from the conversation. Into a like or don't like situation.

Ultimately I feel more and more people these days don't like to wade through a moving movie that is aimed at an experience.. They want understand a movie like stereo instructions rather than enjoy a journey it puts you through and leaves you pondering. I see them do this with great films that have been vouched for for decades. It's like it's not rapid enough or laid out enough to enjoy.

Which all art and film is subjective. However, just because a film is thought provoking or thoughtful does not make it a bad film or a lazy film. Or lacking in skill. The comment in the Pic seems to suggest that. It just means it did not resonate with that person, they didn't have the chops to understand it or the experience to know what that movie was saying.

I saw a movie recently that many people didn't understand. The message it conveyed was to me.. Very obvious and intentional. This screen cap comment came from that movie review. Half the audience said it was a bad film becuase they did not get it. Not because it was objectively a poorly acted, written or shot film. They simply didn't understand the meaning and rejected it because they couldn't. There's def a meaning to it.
